We have summarized common cases below. Please check the settings and ensure that your events appear correctly in the Apple Calendar app.

10. If you can't solve the problem

minical gets the same appointments as the Apple Calendar. In order to isolate the cause, please check if the event is displayed in the Apple Calendar app.

If there are no events in the Apple Calendar app

It is not a problem of minical, but there may be a problem with the collaboration between the calendar service where the appointment is saved and iOS. By default, minical's appointments are stored in iCloud (unless it is linked with Google Calendar, etc.). Please check the support site of each company of the linked calendar service.

Reports of Disappearing Apple Calendar Events in iOS 18

In iOS 18, there have been reports that event data saved in iCloud Calendar is disappearing in both Apple’s Calendar app and third‐party apps that sync with iCloud Calendar.

If iCloud Calendar data is erased due to an issue on Apple’s side, minical will not be able to retrieve events from iCloud Calendar. Since we do not store your event data, we are unable to restore lost events.

How to Check Your iCloud Calendar Data

Instead of checking on your iPhone, open the iCloud Calendar website from your iPad or computer to verify whether your iCloud Calendar data still exists.

How to Contact Apple

If your iCloud Calendar data is missing, we recommend contacting Apple Support, which manages iCloud Calendar.
